Homes in Hancock Park and Windsor Square were originally built in the
1920s for the city's elite, such as attorneys, doctors, lumber barons
and land developers. The rich architectural heritage resulted from the
Old World craftsmen hired to construct these homes and gardens. Outstanding
architects such as Paul Williams and Wallace Neff designed many of the
estates, some of which feature ballrooms, butler's pantries, elevators,
greenhouses and chauffeur's quarters.
